As I wrote elsewhere, lest anyone think otherwise, we are seeing a
SEASONAL RISE in cases and fatalities, and not a "surge."
The majority of deaths in most countries can be attributed to causes that feature a distinct seasonal pattern. The figure depicts the relative monthly frequencies of nine selected causes of death in the United States for women and men combined for the years 1959–2014. The reported number of counts in parentheses in the title of each panel is the actual number of deaths.
Viruses gonna virus.
Sadly, if Chairman Jao is seated, the spring abatement will be ascribed to him instead of the REAL hero, the vernal equinox.
n my area hospitalizations are way up. fortunately deaths are fairly stable meaning the death rate is dropping substantially. That said there are still some folks getting very sick. of course the state keeps doubling down on stupid increasing restrictions with no change in the rise in infection rates at all
Viruses gonna virus. Gee, imagine how unusual it is for the flu to become prevalent during the flu season.
What's next, snowstorms during the winter? -Tom
